Bellsoph rental valuations are automated estimates based on advertised rental evidence and official statistics. They are not a formal or RICS valuation or financial advice, and achieved rents depend on condition, presentation, timing and demand. Market data: ONS Price Index of Private Rents and UK House Price Index, September 2026.
Bedford is below the East of England rent average
In September 2026, Bedford’s average rent was £1,177, compared with £1,298 across the East of England. Bedford was 9.3% lower than the regional average. ONS Private Rental Prices Index figures include new and existing tenancies; these statistical averages are not advertised rents or actual comparable listings for a particular property.
Bedroom averages give a size-based reference
In September 2026, average rents ranged from £802 for a one bed to £1,812 for a four or more bed. The published average for a two bed was £1,032, and for a three bed it was £1,265. The step between the three bed and four or more bed averages was £547 per month. These are figures for different homes, not the rent attributable to adding a room to an individual property.
Property type provides a further point of comparison
In September 2026, the published averages were £917 for a Flat Maisonette, £1,152 for a Terraced, £1,318 for a Semi-detached and £1,604 for a Detached. These broad category averages provide context, rather than evidence of rents for comparable available homes.
